  2. 21. Decision support for the implementation of low-carbon measures in the building sector

    Author : Nicolas Francart; Tove Malmqvist; Paula Femenias; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; building; sustainability; environmental performance assessment; life cycle assessment; decision making; byggnad; hållbarhet; miljöprestandabedömning; livscykelanalys; beslutsstöd; Strategier för hållbar utveckling; Strategies for sustainable development;

    Abstract : The building sector is responsible for about a fifth to a third of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Therefore, a successful mitigation of GHG emissions over the entire life cycle of buildings is particularly important to achieve climate targets such as the Paris Agreement. READ MORE

  4. 22. Mechanical Characterization of Heterogeneous Brittle Materials

    Author : Laura Suarez; Pär Jonsén; Jörgen Kajberg; Simon Larsson; Lars-Olof Nordin; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hållfasthetslära; Solid Mechanics;

    Abstract : Comminution is one of the highest energy-consuming processes in the mining and mineral processing industry by consuming around 2% of the global generated energy with an overall efficiency of 1-3%. Different approaches to the optimization of processes have been developed, but there is still room for improvement. READ MORE

  6. 24. Building resilience beyond the passive house era. Project-based change and innovation towards the social-ecological performance of the built environment. Swedish experiences

    Author : Barbara Rubino; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Sweden.; built environment; sustainability; change and innovation; project-based practice; resilience; socio-ecological systems SESs ; building sector;

    Abstract : The building sector needs a radical change in order to make its contribution towards sustainable development. The sector is claimed to be conservative and characterized by fragmented one-off activities. At the same time, demonstration projects are present as current strategies of the transformation of the sector. READ MORE

  7. 25. Experimental studies of lipid mediator modulation of airway responsiveness

    Author : Willem Abma; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Lipid mediators play an important role in responsiveness of the airways. The roles of prostanoids and leukotrienes in inducing airway inflammation and contraction are reasonably well established. READ MORE
